Sancho de Paternoy

Sancho de Paternoy was the Maestre Racional (royal treasurer) of Aragon during the late 15th century and a Sephardic Jewish convert to Catholicism. During the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon, he was one of five conversos to hold high ranks at the Spanish court (alongside Luis de Santangel, Gabriel Sanchez, Felipe Climent, and Alfonso de la Caballeria). In 1485, he was imprisoned and tortured after the murder of the inquisitor Pedro Arbues.
